reciprocated. The movable blade is. preferably reciprocated'by the means next described. u l

The holder includes the body portion 12, shown by Figure 6, and the separable platel 12a shown by Figure 8, and is provided with an internal guideway, formed in part l by a recess 18 (Figures 5 and 6) in one side of the body portion, and in part by the plate 12a.

A slide Vcomposed of a' body portion 19 i -and a tongue portion 19a, is movable in an guided by .the guideway. .The tongue portion projects from the holder beside the' fixed blade 14, and is olfset from the latter,`

asv shown by Figures 2 and 7, so that a space is provided lbetween the fixed blade and the tongue portion which-receives thel inner end of the .movable blade. The movable blade i is xed to the tongue 19a by a bolt 20, preferablyi having afclam'ping nut 2Oa as shown by Figure 4. he inner end of the Xed blade bears on a recessed seat 18a (Figure) I at one end of the recess 18, and is clamped V'against said seat by the screw 16, the edge of the blade atthe inner end thereof, bearing on surface portions of the recess, so that the bladeV is rigidly confined.

The holder is provided with van ear 21, to which is fulcrumedby a pin 22, a bellcranklever `including a yshorter arm 23, A

extending through a slot 244 (Figure 6)v inl the holder, and enteringva slot 25 `(Figure 7) in the slide19, and a longer arm 26, movable by a digit of a hand grasping the handle 13, as indicated b broken lines'in Figure 1, to move the slide and the mov-v able -blade inone direction. A spring 27 (Figure 1)' ixedat one end to the holder.

clipper may be conveniently operated to trim Y ,provided with a hole 30, spaced from the hole 5l which receives the bolt 20, and receiving a pin 32, fixed to the tongue I9 to prevent possibility of the turning of the movable blade on the bolt.

The movements of the slide 19 may be limited by a stop pin 333 entering a recess 34 in the slide.
